Focus Ventures is dedicated to the discovery of gold deposits in Peru. We have assembled a small but effective team of talented geologists and consultants, led by President David Cass and Exploration Manager Mark Slauenwhite, who are proving what they set out to do: acquire and test quality properties that have little or no drilling, like Nueva California, that show + 1 Moz Au potential. While the ultimate goal is to define a major gold resource and sell to a mining company, near term objectives are to build a portfolio of solid projects, create alliances with major mining companies, and use the joint venture model to off-set risks where necessary.
Despite 15+ years of exploration by foreign and local mining companies, Peru still has so much potential to deliver flagship projects, as demonstrated by the acquisition of the Nueva California project. As David and Mark know well, after years of working in Peru for major mining companies Anglo American and Barrick, mineral deposits can remain undiscovered for years until a different geological interpretation or "new set of eyes" leads to new ideas, concepts and discovery.
Exploration and acquisition by the Focus technical team is driven by sound science and new perspectives with its roots firmly in Peru, arguably one of the most mineralized places on Earth. On the financial side, Focus is directed by some of the best market-savvy financiers in the business, Simon Ridgway and Mario Szotlender, founding members of Goldgroup, who have raised in excess of $215 million since 2006.
Focus has 19.2 million shares issued and around 25.3 million shares fully diluted.

Our mission is to maximize value for stakeholders by leveraging management's extensive technical experience with the opportunities in the market to assess and acquire quality projects in Peru. Respect for the environment, shareholders, communities, and authorities are essential to the development of our mission. Our vision is to create a solid portfolio of gold projects that can be joint ventured or sold.
